A new report by the Bureau of Economic Geology reveals there now are two sinkholes in...
The researchers found that the sinkhole wasn't in fact growing, but instead, a new sinkhole formed adjacent to the original one.
The researchers visited the city on April 8 to map the new sinkhole. They found that the maximum water depth in the 2008 sinkhole is 23 meters, and the maximum depth of the 2023 sinkhole is nine meters. Both sinkholes are similar in the way they collapsed, the research found. The water level in the 2023 sinkhole equals the current level in the 2008 sinkhole, and murky, sediment-laden water from the 2023 sinkhole has filtered into the 2008 sinkhole.
